Astronomical funds will be injected into the unprecedented UFC White House event to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence and President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. He is determined to invest heavily in an unprecedented match.

Citing Mark Shapiro, president of TKO Group Holdings, the British media 'BBC' reported on the 27th (Korea Standard Time) that "UFC will spend about $60 million (about 86 billion won) for an unprecedented event at the White House on June 14."

The best UFC match of all time is expected to take place. Shapiro, who also serves as the chief operating officer (COO) of the TKO Group, said of the competition, "Let me be clear, we will not benefit from the White House event," and emphasized, "We have no intention of making money at the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence."

In addition, the UFC is currently working with companies to offset about $30 million (about 43 billion won), which is half of the total cost.

President Trump is also serious about this White House convention. Earlier, France made an unconventional decision to delay the G7 summit, which was scheduled to begin on June 14, by one day. It is interpreted as a measure to avoid overlapping schedules with President Trump's birthday and the day of the UFC event.

The blueprint conceived by UFC CEO Dana White has also been materialized. "Fighters will actually walk out of the Oval Office and head to the Octagon installed on the South Lawn," CEO White predicted. In addition, about 5,000 spectators will enter the UFC match site, and more than 80,000 people will gather at Ellips Park near the White House to watch the match on a large screen.

The match table is also expected to be splendidly arranged to match the size of the all-time investment. According to USA Today, President Trump vowed that "it will be a tremendous match like never before." Superstars in each weight class, including Conor McGregor, John Jones, Alex Pereira and Islam Makachev, have expressed their intention to participate.

In particular, Justin Gaic, who recently became a provisional champion at UFC 324, officially demanded a White House match with unified champion Ilya Topuria. Topuria also immediately accepted Gaichi's provocation and predicted his return, saying, "Get ready, you're doomed now."
